Electronic control unit, electronic control system, and recording medium
View Patent ↗An electronic control unit that is capable of more accurately determining an event that has occurred in a network installed in a mobile body such as a vehicle, the electronic control unit including: a transmitter-receiver that receives first messages transmitted from a first ECU included in an in-vehicle network; and an attack determiner that, when a first message among the first messages received by the transmitter-receiver is determined to have an anomaly, determines whether a cause of the anomaly is an attack on the in-vehicle network.
1. An electronic control unit, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory which stores an instruction, wherein when the processor executes the instruction stored in the memory, the processor operates as:
a receiver that receives first messages transmitted from a first device included in a network installed in a mobile body; and
a determiner that, when a first message among the first messages received by the receiver is determined to have an anomaly, determines whether a cause of the anomaly is an attack on the network, and outputs a result of the determination,
wherein when the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is not the attack, the determiner further outputs information indicating a possibility of a breakdown of the first device,
wherein when the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is the attack, the determiner further identifies a type of the attack, and
wherein when the determiner determines that a second message has been transmitted to the network when the mobile body is moving, the determiner identifies, as the type of the attack, a replacement attack that replaces a normal message with an anomalous message, the second message being transmitted from outside the mobile body to the network when the mobile body is not moving.
2. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determiner determines whether a first data amount of the first messages transmitted per unit of time has increased from a second data amount of normal first messages transmitted per unit of time, and when the determiner determines that the first data amount has increased from the second data amount, the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is the attack.
3. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determiner determines whether the first messages include an anomalous first message and a normal first message, and when the determiner determines that the first messages include the anomalous first message and the normal first message, the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is the attack.
4. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determiner determines whether a second message that is determined to have an anomaly has been transmitted from a second device included in the network in a same time period with the first message determined to have the anomaly, and when the determiner determines that the second message has been transmitted, the determiner determines that a cause of the anomaly is the attack, the second message being related to the first message determined to have the anomaly.
5. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determiner determines whether a third message has been transmitted to the network when the mobile body is moving, and when the determiner determines that the third message has been transmitted, the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is the attack, the third message being transmitted from outside the mobile body to the network when the mobile body is not moving.
6. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determiner determines whether the first message determined to have the anomaly has been transmitted when transmission of a first message is stopped by a diagnostic packet, and when the determiner determines that the first message determined to have the anomaly has been transmitted, the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is the attack.
7. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determiner determines whether at least one characteristic that appears due to an attack has appeared in the network within a predetermined time period, and when the determiner determines that the at least one characteristic has appeared, the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is the attack.
8. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the determiner determines that a first data amount of the first messages transmitted per unit of time has increased from a second data amount of normal first messages transmitted per unit of time, the determiner identifies, as the type of the attack, an additional attack that adds an anomalous message to a normal message.
9. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the determiner determines that the first messages include an anomalous first message and a normal first message, the determiner identifies, as the type of the attack, an additional attack that adds an anomalous message to a normal message.
10. The electronic control unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the determiner determines that a first message determined to have the anomaly has been transmitted when transmission of the first message is stopped by a diagnostic packet, the determiner identifies, as the type of the attack, a replacement attack that replaces a normal message with an anomalous message.
11. An electronic control system, comprising:
an anomaly determining device including a receiver that receives messages transmitted from a device included in a network installed in a mobile body, and an anomaly determiner that determines whether the messages received by the receiver are anomalies; and
an attack determining device that, when the anomaly determiner determines that a message among the messages received by the receiver has an anomaly, determines whether a cause of the anomaly is an attack on the network, and outputs a result of the determination,
wherein when the attack determining device determines that the cause of the anomaly is not the attack, the attack determining device further outputs information indicating a possibility of a breakdown of the device included in the network,
wherein when the determiner determines that the cause of the anomaly is the attack, the determiner further identifies a type of the attack, and
wherein when the determiner determines that a second message has been transmitted to the network when the mobile body is moving, the determiner identifies, as the type of the attack, a replacement attack that replaces a normal message with an anomalous message, the second message being transmitted from outside the mobile body to the network when the mobile body is not moving.
